...ENDURE 'TIL THE END!!!
I am now a member of the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society's Team in Training Program! As a member, I have committed to complete a marathon!!(That's 26.2 miles, for those of you who don't know, and no I am not crazy!!!) On December 9, 2001, I will participate with THE TEAM, in Dallas, TX for the White Rock Marathon. I have set a personal goal to raise a minimum of $3000.00 for the Society. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS)requires I raise a minimum of $1200.00 with 75% of what I raise going toward research, patient aid, community service, and public & professional education. With your help, I plan to pass LLS's minimum and reach my personal goal.
WHY? Leukemia is the number one cause of death in children between the ages of 1-15 and takes the lives of 57,000 people each year. There is no way to prevent leukemia, but it can be treated effectively. Now is your 'time and chance' to make a difference!! Please consider giving whatever you can give, and make a donation. Just click on 'donate' to the left, fill out the form, and mail it to me. **Several companies participate in corporate matching. If your company participates in this program, please also send that form.** I would also appreciate your prayers during my training period. THIS IS A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR ME! Please add this page to your favorites, in case you want follow with my progress. I would love to hear from you, so please sign in the 'guestbook'. I plan to update this site periodically as I 'endure'. Remember, whatever you can give will help. Researchers are committed to finding a cure for Leukemia, and your tax-deductible donation is the key to reach that goal. Thank you for your support. Enduring 'til the end, Valerie |
